That is pretty sweet, not teacher generous, but a good deal. I've got Thursday and Friday off this week, all next week, and then back to work on Wed., Jan. 3rd. I think that's fairly typical for schools across the U.S.

We go until noon on Friday. Kids go back on Jan. 9.

You’re joking right? 1997 = ANH Special Edition, when it retook #1. On the 20th anniversary. So yup, sure did say that! It was 20 years for a reason; SW just did it.

How much did the expansion five years later make?

Disney is not removing the short because of any sort of imaginary internet backlash. It's going to air on ABC around the holidays.

Can someone please explain Shitty Frozen Shorts to me? Why are they attached with some movies (Cinderella, Coco)? Does Disney think people go to see movies for that shit and not for the movie itself? What's the point? 

Frozen is Disney’s biggest cash cow since The Lion King. Attaching a Frozen short to movies will boost its awareness, according to their market research.

I am so out of touch right now.  I have no idea how Wonder is doing so well.  I never watch commercials on tv so maybe that has something to do with it?  I have never felt this out of touch with a films performance since Hunger Games made 150 OW.

The book has been a massive seller. All of my students have read it and loved it.

What era, outside of the early Disney films and Looney Tunes shorts, churned out such impressive content so consistently? 

[A Star is Born | 5th October, 2018 | Warner Bros | Bradley Cooper directing, Lady Gaga cast as lead.]

Mariah has had some fine performances. Wisegirls and Precious come to mind. 

 

Britney is ok in comedic roles. Dramatic actress she is not.

[A Star is Born | 5th October, 2018 | Warner Bros | Bradley Cooper directing, Lady Gaga cast as lead.]

Garland's greatest performance. Incredible that she did not win the Oscar.

 

Deadline said that WB was "blown away" by the test screenings.

 

Quote

Warner Bros.’ remake of A Star Is Born, with director-star Bradley Cooper and Stefani Germanotta aka Lady Gaga, will hit theaters earlier next year, specifically May 18, instead of its original September 28.

Deadline hears that Warner Bros. executives saw an early cut of the film and were blown away by Germanotta and Cooper’s sublime turns; as such they want to get the film on screens as soon as they can.

The pic’s new release date occurs coincidentally during the Cannes Film Festival, and Warner Bros. has a recent history of launching its grand May spectacles on the global stage on the Croisette — read Mad Max: Fury Road and The Great Gatsby. Whether A Star Is Born will make its world premiere at Cannes is up in the air, and Warner Bros. isn’t commenting on that type of launch right now.

On its new date in U.S./Canada, A Star Is Born will go against Sony’s Slender Man and Focus Features’ untitled Laika production. That’s also the weekend preceding the Memorial Day stretch when Disney/Lucasfilm’s Han Solo anthology movie opens.

A Star Is Born gives a fresh look at the story about a singer whose star rises as quickly as her troubled lover/mentor’s star is falling. The latest version of the script was written by Bradley Cooper, Will Fetters, and Eric Roth (Munich, Forrest Gump). Sam Elliott also stars. For Germanotta, who already is an Oscar nominee and won a Golden Globe for her turn in American Horror Story: Hotel, it’s truly her first marquee film role.

A Star Is Born is also a Live Nation/RatPac-Dune Entertainment production. Bill Gerber, Jon Peters, Cooper, Todd Phillips and Lynette Howell Taylor are producers with EPs Basil Iwanyk, Michael Rapino, Heather Parry and Ravi Mehta.

By the way, Netflix’s candid Lady Gaga documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two hits the streaming service today following its Toronto International Film Festival premiere.

Hercules and The Hunchback of Notre Dame  may not have been as big as TLM, BATB, TLK, and Aladdin , but I seriously feel that Disney could have huge live-action blockbusters made from those.  

Hunchback is the second best Disney film of the '90s. Just a glorious film. 

 

Except the gargoyles. Fuck the gargoyles.
